C o n su m e r Ele c tro n ic s D a ily N e ws Eve n in g Extra EnvisionTEC (Cont'd. from p. 1) customers' expectations do. DLP, our flagship technology, is perfectly suited to a wide variety of applications that require high precision results coupled with speed and superb surface quality. It does, however, have size limitations. We set out to find a solution for the growing number of applications requiring larger capabilities without sacrificing that high resolution and smooth surface finish that EnvisionTEC is known to deliver. Earlier this year, we released our first 3D printers that capitalized on the technology that answered this need, 3SP™. 3SP stands for Scan, Spin and Selectively Photocure, and represents EnvisionTEC's commitment to providing true solutions. This technology provides the same highAspectSolar (Cont'd. from p. 1) range of impressive technology available in AspectSolar's line. The PV panels are composed of monocrystalline cells, touting a 19 percent efficiency rating for energy conversion. The internal Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery can retain a charge for years, and can power a smartphone for 25 hours on its own or for an unlimited amount of time as long as the SwitchCase (Cont'd. from p. 1) able backplates? BS: Backplates were developed so that consumers could essentially have multiple cases in one. Consumers can update their look anytime they want. Just pop the case off and change up their HD backplate whenever they want a new look.

They decided to create a tablet made just for kids, focused on their experience on a tablet, to create a product/solutions that go beyond the toy box. Fuhu has worked with some of the most successful companies including DreamWorks (arguably one of the most amazing animation studios in the world), and Foxconn (the VistaQuest (Cont'd. from p. 1) cameras, camcorders, and a variety of digital picture frames (7-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch). As consumers respond to social media's dynamic of recording and documenting life's every moment, they want an easy approach to logging in an active and creative lifestyle. The HP Action Cam ac200w has a 170-degree wide-angle lens and full 1080p HD video to capture significant moments in detail.

Can you tell us more about how EnvisionTEC 3D printers support them? AS: EnvisionTEC supports these verticals by delivering solutions, and not just 3D printers. We look to deliver a finished product, designed with software that is fully integrated with our software, and printed on an EnvisionTEC 3D printer with a material that meets the exact needs of the end user. We work closely with many industry-specific software developers to ensure a seamless transition between content creation and 3D printing. EnvisionTEC has very deliberately made 3D printers that are as userfriendly as possible in order to ensure that the same person who designs or scans a model will be able to complete the process and 3D print it, without the need for an additional specialist to run the 3D printing process. Therefore, our content creation to print solutions are already optimized for use with the major industry software programs, allowing for the designer to spend more time doing what they do best, not learning additional software. We also spend a lot of time with our customers, finding out how we can best help them be successful with 3D printing. Practical solutions for one industry might not work for another, so we take great care in helping to develop solutions that work best for each one individually, and that is evident in the breadth of functional materials that we offer for the verticals we dominate. sun is out. Most impressively, the SunSocket has SUNTRAX™ technology and will rotate on its own throughout the day to follow the sun, generating as much power possible. The SunSocket Solar Generator is the only portable solar panel in the world capable of tracking the sun. This technology allows it to charge its own battery in only five hours. When not in use, everything folds up into a briefcase and weighs less than 25 pounds. AspectSolar is bringing these advancements to all of their portable solar power solutions. The EnergyBar 250 is a powerful and compact, standalone product utilizing the LiFePO4 battery that can be charged from the SunSocket, wall outlet or optional EP-55 solar panels. It also features multiple outputs and two Amp USB ports. For portable power for phones or tablets, the DUO-Flex is a solar-pow- ered USB charger and battery for use on the go. AspectSolar aims to change the face of portable power with sustainable solutions that free people from the grid. Freedom is being fully charged. quality results as our DLP process, but on a larger scale, and also has the added bonus of faster build speeds. Our next step will be to continue to evaluate and improve the technology as we develop material solutions for different applications and needs. As there is not a single 3D printing solution that works for every application and every need, you can be sure that we will continue to strive for solution-based improvements for our existing applications as well as whatever new applications come along and create the need for specialized solutions. SwitchCase backplate? BS: Any digital image. Any combination of photos, text, graphics, patterns, monograms. Really, the options are infinite for consumers to personalize their SwitchCase. CEDN: SwitchCase backplates look exceptionally vibrant. Why is that? BS: We started developing SwitchCase to offer a case with great image quality. SwitchCase backplates are actually made world's largest manufacturer of electronics) to leverage their strengths to integrate new experiences and create new business models. The result is a quality tablet that is fast and powerful enough for adults but made for a kid's experience. The nabi tablet provides kids with new ways to learn and opportunities for kids to play and teach how to make the right decisions as they grow. Among its features: Wings, the first tablet based adaptive learning system axis g-force sensor and full HD 1080p video capture capability to record trip details and those elements needed for security. Additional models will include similar and enhanced features. Development of the Car Camcorders and Action Cam models began in the spring of 2013, after market analysis that included input from a variety of potential customers. "As soon as we mentioned the product being considered for production, buyers began asking 'When can I get it?,'" said Cliff Montgomery, VP of Sales ed to be at CES." Show attendees can look forward to a firsthand demo of FlipSquare at Petros Media's booth, located on the Venetian's ground floor. "We'll have FlipSquare out for with HD technology similar to ChromaLuxe metal prints, which are used by professional photographers worldwide. Images don't wear off because the ink is actually infused into the backplate. Heat and pressure during processing leaves the images ultra-bright and fade-resistant. CEDN: How can CES attendees learn more about SwitchCase? BS: SwitchCase will be exhibiting at that personalizes courseware based on each child's proficiency. Designed to give kids a head start, the curriculum is aligned to Common Core State Standards, so it reinforces what kids learn at school, at home. nabi Time Controls provide the first time controls that speak to kids. nabi's Time Controls help parents manage screen time by setting time limits and enforcing them through animated nabi character that brings the tablet to life and interacts with children to let them know their time is and Marketing. Concurrently, manufacturers and engineers were at work creating impressive features. "We specialize in mass market, photo retailers and electronic superstores, but we now have large distributors and companies handling logistics and transportation knocking at our doors for orders we are taking immediately," Montgomery said. He went on to explain that VistaQuest's manufacturers have been responsive to demanding production needs and ensure they can supply everybody to enjoy. We'll also have some surprises and giveaways just to keep things interesting," Johnson said. Be forewarned; the app is addicting, and your stop at the Petros booth might take longer than expected.
